This is not Japan.

Alright, we all know Japan has sakura trees, kimono's, and technology like a maniac... but what 'isn't' Japan?

You just don't get drinks this big in Japan...

McDonalds is in Japan, true, but would you ever see a giant American flag hanging in the window? For that matter, would you ever see a giant Japanese flag hanging in a window 'anywhere' in Japan? Hrm...

It's a little chipmunk, and a squirrel! Don't see these running around in Japan often...

I'm not saying that these are common in the states, but let me know if you see them in Japan.

Meat. Potato. Butter. Greens. Heck yeah. And a blue drink.
